A rectangular lawn of dimensions 80 m * 60 m has two roads each 10 m wide running in the middle of the lawn, one parallel to the length and the other parallel to the breadth. What is the cost of traveling the two roads at Rs.3 per sq m?
Correct answer: D. Rs.3900
- A. Rs.3600
- B. Rs.3700
- C. Rs.3800
- D. Rs.3900
Explanation
The road parallel to the length covers 80 m x 10 m = 800 m², and the road parallel to the breadth covers 60 m x 10 m = 600 m². Their 10 m x 10 m intersection is counted twice, so total road area = 800 m² + 600 m² - 100 m² = 1300 m². Cost = 1300 m² x Rs.3 per m² = Rs.3900, so option d is correct; option a ignores part of one road.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.

A big rectangular plot of area 4320 Sq.m is divided into 3 square shaped smaller plots by fencing parallel to the smaller side of the plot. However, some area of land was still left as a square plot could not be formed. So 3 more square shaped plots were formed by fencing parallel to the longer side of the original plot. Such that no area of the plot was left a surplus. What are the dimensions of the original plot?
